IT Crowd Season 2 DVD for sale in the US

The IT Crowd, Channel 4 UK's brilliant sitcom about sysadmins, is coming out on DVD in the US (previous DVDs were region-free, but were only sold through UK retailers and importers to the US). It's only the season 2 disc (you can order season 3, where the show really hit its stride, from the UK). I love this show, plain and simple: it's funny, silly and relentlessly geeky, and pushes the envelope with every episode.

The IT crowd rocks, but it’s not particularly geeky, the computer nerd stuff is more like a backdrop and rarely seems to have anything to do with the plot (at least in series one, which I have seen).
Its still a good UK style embarassment sitcom

I’ve seen all 3 series, and I would have to agree with my friends, I think the IT crowd series 3 is _less_ funny than series 1 or 3 (I’m from New Zealand). They are running out of IT jokes to tell (though the “Internet” episode was brilliant). I’m waiting for series four though, to see if they really are in a slide or if its just they are moving away from nerd jokes.

Sheesh. thepiratebay.org -> “the IT crowd” -> ‘Complete seasons 1 through 3.torrent’. None of this ridiculous “region codes … only sold through … only season 2 … ‘you can order'”. And people wonder why piracy is so popular. The barriers to actually handing over money for something you like are so absurd.

What’s with the measly 6 episodes a season? It’s so disappointing that its been on for 3 years and we don’t even have 20 episodes. I heard they’re working on a X-mas special though, I bet it’ll be great.

season 3 where it hits it’s stride? come on now.. season 3 is far and away the least funny of the lot.. it began to slide a little as soon as the incomparable chris morris stepped outside his window for mine..

Got to concur with other comments. Love the show, but the quality really dipped in season 2. I recall Graham Linehan saying something to the effect that he wanted to get the characters out of the confines of their office environment, which struck me as like complaining that Fawlty Towers would have been really great if they weren’t all stuck in that damn hotel.

#11 – Many shows taped in front of a live studio audience still have laugh tracks. If the audience doesn’t react enough (or at all), they beef up the laughter in post production. I love when, in Annie Hall, Woody Allen rants to Tony Roberts about that.
